Overall it's a really impressive homage to the G1 figure, although I'm still not entirely sold on the horns. Looks neat enough in robot mode, but weird in shuttle mode. My main criticism of this toy are the blue wings in robot mode which are really floppy and don't seem to be able to lock into position.

Still, I'm gonna buy this toy on sight if I can find one!

The blue wings on mine were a bit floppy as well, I tightened the 2 screws on the underside of the shuttle wings (top of the wings in robot um... beast thingy mode) and that mostly resolved it. They're not absolutely firmly in place but are not swinging in and out when I don't want them to.

I took out the shuttle tail fins and flipped them so they're the right way around in shuttle mode. They're now upside side down in Sky Reign mode but I think it's acceptable. The original position in shuttle mode bugged me more.

Mine as not arrived yet but I am curious, is Sky Reign meant to be a 6 figure combiner like all the others? And if so, where the hell does the 6th figure go?:confused:
